      This stuff discourages me so much. I used be very very conservative; working in the tech sector and seeing how republicans handle issues like this has really jaded me in regards to conservatives in the US. Sometimes I truly don't understand how some people can say things like this with a straight face.

      Do they really believe the words coming out of their own mouths?
